Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition): Difference between revisions

==Reception and errors==

Reception to the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' has been mixed. Some reviewers and readers praised the book's detailed approach to its content. However, other reviewers stated that the book's images are often of poor quality and "at times seem haphazardly thrown together."<ref>''Though I must say, they could have done a better job on some of the images. At times these seem haphazardly thrown together. Low resolution models of items have been blown up to show just how shoddy their design was in game.'' - [http://www.gamersdailynews.com/article-2225-The-HALO-Encyclopedia-Book-Review.html Gamer's Daily News]</ref> Others criticisms centered on the work's poor editing, most notably its poor spelling and grammar. Misattributions are also frequent, with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI/S variant|Scout]] and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI(A)|Rogue]] armor being referred to as one armor type. Later printings of the ''Encyclopedia'' feature improved editing, eliminating many mistakes that exist in the initial printing, including several mislabelings and missattributions. Nonetheless, several factual inaccuracies remain. For example, the ranking system of the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] is mangled, with a picture of a [[Jiralhanae Major|Major]] labeled as a [[Jiralhanae Minor|Minor]], and the color of an [[Jiralhanae Ultra|Ultra]]'s armor is mis-cited as cyan instead of violet.
